Low body image is linked to riskier teen sex.
It shouldn't come as a surprise that a woman's body image is linked to her sexual habits. But a new study done at the University of Pittsburgh among teenage girls offers some eye-opening figures as to how the woman we see in the mirror affects our sex lives.
According to the results of the study, a young woman's ethnicity combined with her actual weight or perception of her weight may influence her to engage in risky sexual behaviors. Is the Pill Harmful?

Not that you should have been checking out your significant other's mom or dad, anyway...but a recent study says it might be a useless barometer to judge how attractive your guy or girl will be in old age.
The study, out of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, suggests a woman's beauty is a gift from both of her good-looking parents but a man's facial attractiveness is harder to place. It says attractive fathers do not necessarily have attractive sons and you can't look at a man's mother to find out if he'll still be … Read More
